Bill Belichick is currently coaching a historically dominant defense. Unsurprisingly, he's been here before.
"Even bigger than the win was a rare moment in the fourth quarter," a gleeful Gronkowski said. "You smiled! Through nine seasons and even three Super Bowls, I've never seen you with such pure joy on the field."
Putting the Patriots' current status in perspective, spotlighting the rise of Jakobi Meyers and the return of Ben Watson, and of course, having a laugh or two at the Jets' expense.
Yes, the Patriots' defense is great. Historically so. It's time to stop searching for reasons to discount this fact.
Belichick knows that whenever he shows off his knowledge of the rule book, his exploitation of a quirk or a little-known rule tends to lead to a national discussion about how that rule must be changed. Such is the cycle of life in the NFL.
Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett formed an unbreakable quarterback bond in 2016. Now in 2019, that wolf pack is wreaking absolute havoc on the rest of the NFL.
Last year, it was TB1K, as Tom Brady raced (or plodded) toward 1,000 career rushing yards. This year, Brady is in pursuit of more rushing greatness.

Sean McDermott did not look like a head coach ready to really compete with the Patriots in the AFC East. Here's 100 reasons why, plus all of the leftover thoughts from the Patriots' 16-10 win.
It wasn't all that long ago that a legitimate concern about the 2019 Patriots revolved around the loss of Brian Flores, the rapid hiring and resignation of Greg Schiano, and the lack of humans and clarity among Patriots defensive coaches. Through three games, with a grand total of three points allowed on defense, those concerns have already been turned into ancient history.
Bill Belichick wasn't in the mood to talk about the Patriots' decision to release Antonio Brown before Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
